Martian Chronicles

When the Earth Men came to Mars, they struggled due to little air to breathe. Several men fainted, and some were even sent back home to Earth.-" 'We all need the air. It's a thin air here on Mars. You get tired so soon. It's like living in the Andes, in South America, high. You inhale and don't get anything. It doesn't satisfy.' "

--freedom--

martian chronicles

In Martian Chronicles, many went to Mars to seek for freedom that they could not have on Earth.-"I cant figure out why they left now. With things lookin' up. I mean, everyday they got more rights. What they want, anyway? Here's the poll tax gone, and more and ore states passin' anti-lynchin bills, and all kinds of equal rights. What more they want? They make almost as good as money as a white man, but there they go."

When the settlers went to America, they sought religious freedom.-"As Jamestown was developing in Virginia, ​new groups of colonists began planning their ​move to America. Many English Catholics ​came to America to escape religious persecution. English Catholics had long been against ​England’s separation from the Roman Catholic Church. For this reason they were not ​allowed by the Church of England to worship ​freely. English leaders also feared that English ​Catholics would ally with Catholic countries ​such as France and Spain in conflicts."
